I thought it may be fun to point out the worst statlines in the NBA each night. It'll at least give us something to feel better about when the Pistons lose or have the night off.

This is obviously subjective and you can let anything factor into your analysis. Expectations, embarrassment factor, turnovers, missed shots, etc.

I may as well start with last night's games.

For the winner, I'm going to break the rules on the first day and go with the combined statline of a dynamic duo. Because Larry Brown is their coach and demands perfection, this makes it worse for these guys.

i dunno why everyone was so high on may coming in...you saw in march madness that he wasn't nba-conditioned or nba-ready when michigan state ran him out of the gym and he was so gassed he could hardly move

This is a good idea cause I know I be very pissed off when the Pistons lose a game. I don't care who we lose to. I have a little horrible stat. It's from the Phoenix Suns @ L.A. Clippers last night. The Suns took 14 3-pointers and only made two!! And the Clippers took 12 and only made 1. It's look like eventhough Mike D'Antoni is gone from Phoenix, he still left his foolish mark of three pointers with them and the Clippers just suck

(In his defense, he didn't take any shots, didn't do anything wrong per se, and he only played 12 minutes. Maybe coach would have left him in there a little longer if he would have done anything at all. )

For opening night, I'm going to have to be cruel and give it to Greg Oden in his first (and hopefully not last) NBA game.

In an anticipated clash of the big men, G.O., after missing an entire season, was set to go against Andrew Bynum, who also missed a huge part of last season. 2 young big men with more potential than any others.

Runners up: Bowen- 21 minutes, 0 points. Probably played good D, but didn't watch. Milicic- 17 minutes, 2 points. Not sure who he was guarding, but both of Houston's bigs went long on rebounds... and DM's minutes were cut short, so assuming he wasn't doing much out there. Johan Petro- 17 min, 2 points. Kleiza- 1 for 8 from the floor as a starter with AI feeding him open looks.

But the winner is... Brent Barry, who is now playing for Houston. 22 min/ 0-2 shooting/ 1 reb/ 0 ast/ 0 stl/ 0 blck/ 0to/ 0 PF. Looks like a classic case of aging 3-point specialist camping out weak side all night. Not horrendous, just anemic.

Winner: Wally Szczerbiak- 6:40 0 points (0-2 shooting) 0 rebs 0 ast 0 stl 0 blk 2 to 3 pf I considered sparing him since he only played a few minutes, but I'm not sure how any coach could have left him in with this negative production.
